Abstract: For measuring the influence of noise on the talking quality of a telephone link in a telecommunications network, a talker speech signal (s(t)) and a degraded speech signal (s'(t)) are fed to an objective measurement device (32) for obtaining an output signal (q) representing an estimated value of the talking quality. The degraded signal includes a returned signal (r(t)) originating from the network during transmission of the talker speech signal over the telephone link. The objective measurement carried out by the device is a modified PSQM-like measurement, which is modified as to include a modelling (32b) of masking effects in consequence of noise present in the returned signal. Preferably the modelling includes a noise suppression (42) carried out to a difference signal (D(t,f)) in the loudness density domain using a noise estimation (41). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Eyewear having easily removable lenses is provided with a frame that defines a first lens receiving recess on one side of a lens opening and a second lens receiving recess on a second side of the lens opening. Each lens has a first tab portion which corresponds with the first recess and a second tab portion which corresponds to the second recess and is mounted by placing the first tab portion in the first recess and the second tab portion in the second recess. Engagement between the respective tab portions and recesses maintains the lenses in the mounted position. To more securely lock each lens in position, a pivot member having a locking tab can be pivoted into a locking position in which the locking tab engages the lens.

Abstract: A barrel of thermoplastic material has a peripherally extending carrier and transportation ring in the region of its upper end portion and at least one plughole connection in the edge region of the latter. The bung hole connection is disposed within a housing which is let into the upper end portion. The housing is open at its side towards the edge of the barrel while at its other side it has a boundary end wall, from each of the two ends of which a respective wall extends towards the edge of the barrel, the walls laterally defining the housing. The walls defining the housing are delimited at the top side by a transition from the respective wall into the upper end portion of the barrel and at the lower end by a transition from the respective wall into the bottom of the housing. The spacing between the upper transitions of the two ends of the housing is greater than the spacing between the two lower transitions and the upper transitions diverge towards the edge of the barrel. The transitions between the side walls and the upper end portion of the barrel body on the one hand and the transitions between the side walls and the bottom of the housing on the other hand do not extend parallel. The transitions between the side walls and the upper end portion include an angle which is at least 120 DEG .

Abstract: A thin-film metal resistor (44) suitable for a multilayer printed circuit board (12), and a method for its fabrication. The resistor (44) generally has a multilayer construction, with the individual layers (34, 38) of the resistor (44) being self-aligned with each other so that a negative mutual inductance is produced that very nearly cancels out the self-inductance of each resistor layer (34, 38). As a result, the resistor (44) has a very low net parasitic inductance. In addition, the multilayer construction of the resistor (44) reduces the area of the circuit board (12) required to accommodate the resistor (44), and as a result reduces the problem of parasitic interactions with other circuit elements on other layers of the circuit board (12).

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of descrambling digital multimedia content starts by sending an out-of-band request for encrypted control data to a headend. A descrambler integrated circuit may then receive digital program data in a scrambled, format and the encrypted control data. The encrypted control data may then be decrypted entirely within the descrambler integrated circuit using a multiple-step decryption process starting with a unique key permanently stored in the descrambler integrate circuit and using the partial decryption of control data from the previous decryption step to generate a key to decrypt subsequent encrypted control data. The scrambled digital program data may then be descrambled in the descrambler integrated circuit using the decrypted control data from the last decryption step. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer instrument for determining the molecular weight of labile molecules of biological importance, in particular heavy molecules, such as proteins, peptides or DNA oligomers, is disclosed. The instrument includes a MALDI ion source that is enclosed in a chamber with an inlet for admitting a gas and an ion sampling aperture for limiting gas flow from the chamber. The elevated pressure of the source in the range from 0.1 to 10 torr causes low energy collisions between the gas and the ions that can cause rapid collisional cooling of the excited ions, thereby improving the stability of the produced ions. The formation of clusters of ions (e.g., protein ions) with matrix materials is broken without fragmenting the ions by increasing the downstream gas temperature to between 150 and 250° C. Operating the source at laser energy at least two times higher than the threshold value of ion formation and using a high repetition rate laser significantly improves sensitivity of analysis and speed of data acquisition.

Abstract: A surface-modified article is formed of an elastomeric matrix, such as a glove shape, and a plurality of fine silica particles affixed to at least a portion of the surface of the matrix, the outside surface in the case of the glove. The fine silica particles increase the coefficient of friction of the article surface. The fine silica particles may also be made electrically conductive, so that static charge at the surface of the article is dissipated. The silica particles are applied by mixing them into a coating composition, applying the coating composition to the surface of a mold, and solidifying a flowable elastomeric composition against the coated surface. The coating composition may include a coagulant or a parting agent.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de polymérisation en phase liquide servant à préparer un produit polyoléfinique présentant des propriétés prédéterminées. Ce procédé consiste à préparer une charge liquide contenant un composant oléfinique et une composition catalytique composée d'un complexe stable de BF3 et d'un agent complexant pour produire cet effet. La charge peut comprendre une ou plusieurs oléfines, y compris une oléfine ramifiée telle que de l'isobutylène, des alpha-oléfines linéaires C3 à C5 et des non alpha-oléfines réactives. La charge et la composition catalytique sont introduites dans un mélange réactif résiduel réticulant dans une zone de réaction de réacteur en boucle située dans le côté d'un tube d'un échangeur de chaleur à calandre à un taux de réticulation suffisant pour produire un mélange intime du mélange réactif résiduel, de la charge et de la composition catalytique ajoutées. La chaleur dégagée par la réaction de polymérisation est évacuée de l'adjuvant de réaction intimement mélangé réticulé à une vitesse calculée afin de permettre une réaction thermique sensiblement constante dans cette réaction pendant que cette adjonction est recyclée dans ladite zone de réaction. Les conditions présentes dans le réacteur sont appropriées pour faire que les composés oléfiniques introduits dans ladite charge soient polymérisés afin de former le produit polyoléfinique désiré en présence d'une composition catalytique. Un courant de produit renfermant le produit polyoléfinique désiré est retiré de la zone de réaction. On régule l'introduction de la charge dans la zone de réaction et le retrait du courant de débit de la zone de réaction de façon à ce que le temps de séjour des composés oléfiniques soumis à la polymérisation dans cette zone de réaction soit approprié pour la production du produit polyoléfinique désiré.
